How should we handle mobile devices at school? 📱 🏫

Last year, we limited mobile device use during class time, and the feedback was clear: classrooms became more focused and positive. Now, we’re looking ahead to 2026-27 and want to hear your thoughts on extending those restrictions to the entire school day, including lunches and breaks. (Some of our schools already use an all-day policy, but this would make it a district-wide practice.)

We want to hear from students, staff and families! Join our ThoughtExchange to share your perspective and rate the ideas of others.

🗓️ Open through May 22

¿Cómo debemos manejar el uso de dispositivos móviles en la escuela? 📱 🏫

El año pasado, limitamos el uso de dispositivos móviles durante las clases, y la respuesta fue clara: el ambiente en las aulas se volvió más concentrado y positivo. Ahora, nos estamos preparando para el año escolar 2026-27 y queremos saber qué opinan sobre extender esas restricciones a toda la jornada escolar, incluyendo la hora del almuerzo y los recreos. (Algunas de nuestras escuelas ya aplican una política que abarca todo el día, pero esto lo convertiría en una práctica en todo el distrito).

¡Queremos escuchar a los estudiantes, al personal escolar y a las familias! Únanse a nuestro ThoughtExchange para compartir su opinión y evaluar las ideas de los demás.
